NV Culinary Workers Union will not endorse

[Renew Deal]

They will issue a scorecard, but they will not endorse.

[Wellstone ruled]

1. Great move.

[squirecam]

2. For Sanders, yes.

Nt

[bluewater]

4. The 60,000 Strong Union says it LOVES all our Candidates.

And that their goal is to defeat Trump!

Well done!

[squirecam]

6. Waste of time.

It could have been done in a press release if they were not picking.

In other news, I’m having a sandwich for lunch. I like all the meat choices. But I endorse none of them...

[bluewater]

9. Are you now disparaging the union's announcement?

They said the LOVE all our Candidates and their goal is to DEFEAT TRUMP!!!



Don't we ALL want THAT message get maximum exposure to the media?

People need to rise above being for a particular candidate and support the goal of defeating Trump.

[squirecam]

12. Then announce is in a press release.

That isn’t announcing an endorsement.

[bluewater]

14. Don't you want an anti-Trump message to reach the most people possible?

Could it be you might be disappointed that a candidate you prefer was not endorsed?

That is an honest question.

I can't understand why anyone would want LESS PUBLICITY for such a positive announcement about ALL our candidates!

And a desire to BEAT TRUMP!

[squirecam]

19. No

I went on record that I thought Biden would get it.

[bluewater]

21. I wonder if people are disappointed Biden did not get the endorsement?

It would have been a shot in the arm for him.

But I digress.

Thanks for the discussion.

And I am so glad the union came out so strongly for ALL our candidates and made so clear their desire to defeat Trump!

That makes this a very good day!

[squirecam]

22. Since he set up a campaign stop there this Saturday

I think he is disappointed. Wouldn’t you be?

[Bumperstickers]

3. This is most likely because their members support Sanders

And the leaders do not, so for fear of an uproar they do not endorse.

[Garrett78]

10. That's the impression from those who have been there when the candidates have spoken to the members.

Rank and file don't always agree with leadership.

[PatSeg]

32. I find that hard to believe

Perhaps some, but I wouldn't think very many. They value the health insurance that they bargained years to get and the don't want mandatory Medicare for All.

[floppyboo]

5. Blow back from members for obscene propoganda efforts?

[squirecam]

7. Doubtful

But if you have any evidence please post it.

[bluewater]

11. I am shocked.

I heard that Amy was VERY popular at a union townhall.

I guess it was an unrepresentative group.

But kudos to the union for saying...

THEY LOVE ALL OUR CANDIDATES!

And they want to defeat Trump!

We can all get onboard with that, right? Right?

[squirecam]

13. And she was.

You should read the article on it. It might help you.

[bluewater]

15. But its even better that they LOVE all our candidates!

And they want to defeat Trump.

I am glad that got the maximum publicity possible.

[squirecam]

23. The Las Vegas Sun, in endorsing Amy,

Gave love to most of our candidates too.

[bluewater]

24. Did you know some people try to take threads off on tangents?

It's a rhetorical technique to distract from the main focus of the discussion.

I am told that the best thing to do when that happens is to not take the bait and to keep the conversation on topic.



But, back to the topic at hand!

Isn't it GREAT that the 60,000 member strong NV Culinary Union loves ALL our candidates?

woooooo, yeah, baby!

[squirecam]

25. I've heard that

nt

[bluewater]

29. Rhetorical Pro Tip: never make it personal

Some people resort to ad hominem attacks, but that is poor form and just being impolite.

In a civil discussion, resorting to insults is an admission of failure.



But I digress...

Three cheers for the NV Culinary Union Local 226 membership!

They love ALL our candidates and want to defeat Trump!

226! 226! 226!

[squirecam]

30. I know

I saw a few posts get deleted for use of expletives. Bad conduct indeed.

One should also directly answer a post with evidence and acknowledge it. Such as an exit poll survey. Or information on editorial independence. But people here like to dodge. Or argue for the sake of arguing.

[bluewater]

31. Exactly

But I have seen posts rightly use words like "bullshit" and "crap" when calling out bad behavior, and those are often acceptable, depending on context, of course.

But even that type of response, no matter how warranted, should be used only in extremis.

But, again, I digress...

I am so happy the NV Culinary Union decided to endorse ALL our candidates.

[ChubbyStar]

8. Yep, sure looks like it.

Good for them!

[bluewater]

16. Three cheers for the union membership!

Well done!

[ChubbyStar]

20. Damn right they did not capitulate

Stand strong 226!

[Renew Deal]

17. Obscene propaganda from the Sanders camp?

Do you consider it mission accomplished?

[lunasun]

27. Some members are not aligning with the union leaders and speaking out . I am surprised they

are adding their name to their comments which can lead to some union leader backlash but they must feel this is important enough to be heard . One of the strongest points is members who have relatives or friends without any affordable health insurance

[ChubbyStar]

28. One of the strongest points is members who have relatives or friends without any affordable health

insurance. That. Is. It. Right. Fucking. There.

[judeling]

18. Best they could do right now.

The race is to unsettled for them to put their thumb on the scale right now.

Part of their power is that they are successful and there is no way right now that they could be sure they would tip the scales enough.

[oasis]

26. That's okay. The union households will protect their healthcare by

doing what they have to do, the union way, door to door and on the phone lines.

Union Yes!

[bluewater]

34. And who wins the NV caucus will be a good indication

of whom this 60,000 member strong union supports!

I am sure they will work very hard to Get Out the Vote and protect their interests!

[PatSeg]

33. This is an excellent idea

Give them the basic info and let them make their own decisions. People don't like being told who to vote for. In a sense, the scorecard that I saw was an endorsement in a way.
